Kennametal 1094542 Lh Svjb Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1094542 is a left-hand SVJB-style indexable turning toolholder designed for precision external turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a neutral rake angle of 0 degrees, which provides balanced cutting geometry suited to a wide range of workpiece materials and turning conditions. The toolholder accepts VB..33. series inserts, secured via a screw-on clamping method for positive, repeatable insert location. The 1-inch by 1-inch square shank provides rigid mounting in standard lathe tool blocks. Machinist and CNC turning specialists install this holder as part of a production or toolroom turning setup.

This toolholder is intended for use on CNC lathes, engine lathes, and turning centers where left-hand tooling is required. The SVJB toolholder style is suited for straight, external turning operations with a 3-degree lead angle. The 6-inch overall length and 1.38-inch head length make it appropriate for standard toolpost and gang-style turret setups. It is a single-use, non-multi-tool holder designed exclusively for turning applications. Compatible insert geometry is the VB..33. series, specifically the VB.. 332 complete insert designation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing toolholders or indexing inserts. Ensure the shank seats fully and squarely in the toolpost or turret pocket and that all clamping bolts are torqued per the machine tool manufacturer's specifications. Confirm insert seating and screw torque before resuming cutting operations.
